You could use your favorite jam with this recipe, but I like the strong-fruity flavor of the Raspberry Jam. You should have all the rest of the ingredients on-hand to make these Raspberry Bar Cookies.

This super easy Crockpot Corned Beef and Cabbage Recipe lets you cook tender corned beef in the slowcooker. The cabbage is added at the end of cooking time so it stays slightly crisp.
For a twist on the classic St. Patrick's Day recipes, Corned Beef and Cabbage Tarts, delicious individual little tarts, combine red cabbage and cubed corned beef with Gruyere cheese.

Lemon Meringue Pie
6 Mar 2010 at 5:03am
Speaking of something that has that yummy lemon flavor... how about making a Lemon Meringue Pie? You can't think of pies without thinking about the ever so basic pie. It's so light and tasty, everyone loves it.

There is nothing more Irish than Guinness. Made using water from the Liffey River, it is one of the most famous beers (specifically a "stout") in the world. A staple of English (and Irish) pub fare is Steak and Guinness Pie, a wonderfully hearty meal on a cold and blustery March day. Be sure to buy an extra pint or two to wash down the pie.
Corned beef and cabbage on St. Patrick's Day is an American tradition, but the Irish were long famous for their corned beef. Corning your own beef requires starting a week in advance, but it couldn't be easier to do and is far superior to what you can buy at the supermarket. And cooking it is another good excuse for a pint or two of Guinness.

Homemade Lemon Curd
4 Mar 2010 at 4:24am
After making that delicious Angel Food Cake, what do you do with all of those egg yolks? My answer is to make Homemade Lemon Curd. It tastes so much better than a store-bought version. The last time I made some Homemade Lemon Curd all my daughter could say was: "I could just eat this with a spoon."

There is absolutely nothing authentic or Irish about this St. Patrick's Day recipe for Watergate Salad, except its green color. This retro salad has been a favorite for parties and potlucks since the 1970s and will add a touch of whimsy to any St. Patrick's Day celebration.
This American version of Irish Soda Bread Recipe is sweet and cake-like. It makes a lovely companion to Irish stew or corned beef and cabbage.

Angel Food Cake
2 Mar 2010 at 4:30am
I'll admit it. I have never been a big fan of Angel Food Cake. The sticky-spongy cake found on the shelves of the bakery section of my local grocery store was a turn-off. After making this recipe, I have changed my mind. Yes, the cake is still little sticky. That's due to the lack of butter in the batter, which turns out to be a good thing if you're watching your fats. Plus, the sponginess is replaced with a light-as-air texture. You can't beat that. Try this recipe for Angel Food Cake and you'll see what I mean.

Ah, it's good to be back in Charleston, South Carolina once again with Theodosia, Drayton and Hayley sipping tea and eating delightful baked treats at their Indigo Tea Shop. This recipe for Butterscotch Scones is just one of several recipes found in Laura Childs' latest Tea Shop Mystery The Teaberry Strangler which comes out on March 2nd.
I don't know about you, but I could use a Butterscotch Scone and a nice cup of tea right about now to warm-up from this lengthy winter we're having. Enjoy!
